Home -> Community -> Usenet -> c.d.o.server -> NT4.0 client SQL*Net problem
I'm having a very curious problem with SQL*Net 2.3 when running from NT4.0 (Intel x86 client).
It all started when we upgraded our client and server (HPUX) from Oracle 7.1.6 to 7.3.2. When our ODBC application runs on the client, we get the following error:
ORA-12154: TNS:could not resolve service name.
I know that this error usually means that I have botched the SQL*Net setup somehow. My next move was to use the ODBC test applications (both Microsoft and Oracle have them!) to debug the setup. To my surprise, both connected to the server with no problems. SQL*Plus also works from the NT client with no problem.
So far, I've already tried the following steps to try to solve the problem:
I've looked over all of the documentation on the Oracle Tech Net site, and I've looked over 2 years worth of comp.database*.oracle.* entries to try to find an answer, but I can't find anything I haven't already tried. I would really appreciate any insite that anyone could give into this problem.
Thanks,
